Oral Hygiene Brookhaven, GA

At Wolfe Family Dentistry, we believe that excellent oral hygiene is the foundation of long-lasting dental health. Our dentist and team are here to help patients of all ages maintain clean, healthy smiles through proper hygiene habits and preventive care. By keeping your teeth and gums in top condition, you can prevent common dental issues and enjoy greater confidence in your smile.

Daily Habits That Make a Big Difference

Maintaining oral hygiene goes beyond routine cleanings – it starts with what you do every day at home. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily and using mouthwash as recommended all play important roles in preventing plaque buildup, tooth decay and gum disease.

Dr. Emily Wolfe encourages patients to follow these basic oral hygiene practices:

  • Brush with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes twice daily
  • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and replace it every three months
  • Floss at least once a day to clean between the teeth
  • Rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash if recommended
  • Maintain a balanced diet low in sugary snacks and drinks

These simple habits help protect your teeth from cavities and your gums from inflammation and disease.

Preventive Care with a Personal Touch

While home care is essential, regular dental visits are just as important. We provide professional cleanings, exams and personalized guidance to help you stay on track. Our dentist and team work with you to identify risk factors and offer tips that make your oral hygiene routine more effective. Professional cleanings remove hardened plaque (tartar) that cannot be removed with regular brushing. We also monitor for early signs of decay, gum disease and other concerns so that treatment can be provided before problems become more serious.

Our team is committed to patient education, and we take time to answer your questions, demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and provide tools that support your daily care.
